Top-of-the-line wireless gaming headset with emulation of 8-channel surround sound 7.1. It is the senior model of the manufacturer in the line of Arctis headsets, positioned as a mass device of the highest price category. A distinctive feature of the headset is a well-balanced sound, which is not common among gaming headsets. The rich low-frequency range does not interfere with the clear reproduction of mid-frequency sounds and high detailing of the "tops". Thanks to this, the SteelSeries Arctis 7 headset is not only suitable for gaming battles, but it does an excellent job with high-quality playback of music of various genres. The wireless transmission principle is implemented using a complete USB receiver, which is additionally equipped with a line-in and line-out. Thus, not only a PC or...a laptop can be used as a signal, but also other digital / analogue players, smartphones, a gamepad, a console or a tablet. The retractable microphone has an average level of sensitivity and a noise reduction system. The built-in Li-Ion battery provides up to 25 hours of battery life, and the range of reliable signal reception of the receiver reaches 12 m. Large bowls with soft ear cushions on a metal headband have a comfortable fit and a good level of noise isolation. The fabric finish of the ear cushions creates a comfortable microclimate for the ear, and the outer soft-touch coating of the plastic cups is comfortable tactile.

Stylish headphones with an unusual headboard

SteelSeries Arctis 7 looks expensive due to high-quality plastic. Smooth and pleasant to the touch, it gives the device a presentable look, although the “ears” cost quite a bit for the top segment. The model with white plastic and a contrasting black headboard looks especially great. The headphone design itself is unusual: instead of retractable clips, a removable tape is used, which stretches, automatically adjusting to the size and shape of the head, like ski goggles. On the head, the headphones sit and are really comfortable, but it cannot be said that the sensations are somehow different from other models with a standard headband. Well, it’s unusual, it won’t go to everyone. But the usual tape can be replaced with a coloured or patterned one. The company's store has a fairly large assortment of colours.

Excellent balanced sound

Most of all, Arctis 7 bribes with balanced sound, which is not often found among gaming headsets, which usually turn up the bass. Here, the bass sounds rich, but does not obscure the mids and highs, which are played out dynamically, cleanly and with decent detail saturation. In general, in terms of sound, this is quite close to the “musical” models from Sennheiser or Koss in this price segment. Therefore, if you listen to music as often as you play, then SteelSeries Arctis 7 may be a very good purchase. Moreover, the bass in games can always be tweaked in the SteelSeries Engine 3 application.

Flexible sound settings for each game

And not just bass. SteelSeries' software is always fancy and here, for example, you can set up multi-channel sound profiles for almost every single game. In stealth games like Hitman and Styx, it's worth playing around with clarity and positioning to hear every step of the enemy and clearly understand the distance to him. In shooters like Doom, pile on more bass and meat.

Headphones for games and for the player

The advantages of Arctis 7 do not end there — in addition to the record battery life (up to 24 hours), the headphones can be made wired and can be used with a smartphone on the street without any problems. The retractable microphone hides in one of the cups and then they are no different from other overhead headphones. At the same time, they look cool and, as we have already said, they do an excellent job with music of any genre. No wonder they have so many awards from publications like IGN, PC Gamer, Tom's Guide and many others.
